On Friday night, a tornado ripped through several states killing dozens of people and destroying communities.
Crews are searching to recover missing people in Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, and Missouri. The state of Kentucky was hit the hardest.
Gov. Andy Beshear said this is the deadliest tornado Kentucky has ever had. The death toll could exceed 100 people.
“It is indescribable; the level of devastation is unlike anything I’ve ever seen,” Beshear said.
Gov. Beshear is asking for help. Here’s how you can help in Florida:
